#that's why they had a patreon

[ragnarssons]

people out there pretending the watcher dudes are struggling wittle poow artists having to live by capitalist rules :((((( to justify their dumb ass move... y'all are cute, i guess.

#watcher #ryan bergara #shane madej #naivete is cute #'youtube is shit!!!' yes it is #that's why they had a patreon #with 11k SUBS #that's why they had sponsorships #that's why they had merch #ALL OF IT WORKING HELLA FINE #they are NOT struggling ffs #they're literally like 'oh ANYBODY can afford 6 dollars per month hahahah' *laughs in bourgeoisie* like HUH???? #then you have their ghost files tour that IS SOLD OUT almost everywhere #going in several countries #I MEAN???? #y'all need to stop comparing them to the struggling artist who needs to put food on the table

like, I'm old school web comic culture, I like handmade zines that are stapled, I just want to make comics and tell stories and the ranking system of the popular webcomic sites exhaust me to my core, which is why I like tumblr. I want to draw sulla wound fingering crassus and not think about the metrics.

#that said i'm a pretty avid reader of korean webcomics and chinese webnovels when i have the money for it #unfortunately i have not had the money for that kind of thing in like. six years RIP #its part of why i dont really plan to paywall my stuff. i want to like. connect somehow. and thinking about a historical fiction comic #in terms of 'is this something someone will pay for?' over 'this is something i FELT in my BONES' kills me #and i do not mean that as an exaggeration. for like two years i was an art industry artist and it did serious critical infrastructure damag #to me. i do commissions and freelance gigs to pay the bills but all i want to do is draw comics #and hopefully! i will make comics that people will want to support through patreon or something like that! #because i would love to not think about trying to pay my bills with this but unfortunately i have student loans #also eventually i would like health insurance. tbh. or actually. dental insurance.

As someone who once had their art stolen by a mutual who has many times more followers than me and I only found out because I happened to click on her ig stories on the right day,

Get his ass.

#so yeah I can empathize with the writers and artists who had their work stolen by James #especially the one who found out through his patreon because she supported him on there #that one hit especially close to home #there’s no feeling like going out of your way to support the work of someone who you want to succeed #only to find out they plagiarized from you specifically #and the worst part is that my art was a drawing that she used as the base for an embroidery project #and I would have let her use it if she had just ASKED AND CREDITED ME #and I had only posted it days earlier so it’s not like she could have already forgotten who posted it #but nope #instead she just swiped it and hoped I wouldn’t see #and I can’t even say anything in fear of her fans dogpiling me since she’s sent them after other people before #welp. #james somerton #hbomberguy #why are you booing me i’m right

#you thought i wouldnt freak out about this image you thought WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!11 #heh. when i first illegally accessed the execution comic i went CRAZY!!! #thats probably why i didnt post as much during execution release i guess my excitement wore off since i was getting patreon updates instead #of gettin ghte whole thing in one big chunk...sowwy guys #a nepo baby like me has gotta do what i do i had to see sergeis beautiful face as soon as possible #pafl shitposts

the whole relationship structure of the Close-Foster-Freeman-Swift-Unworthy family is mind boggling and convoluted, but I absolutely adore the thought of Glenn meeting Hermie, theatre kid extraordinaire, and proudly telling Jodie that Hermie gets that from Glenn's side of the family

just willfully oblivious to the fact that that's impossible in any of the alternative realities and happily telling Hermie all kinds of stories about Hermie's great-grandfather, the great actor Meryl Streep

#jodie breaking out flow charts to show how it is entirely impossible for hermie to be related to meryl whatsoever #glenn just playing his guitar louder every time jodie tries to speak #scam is fully on glenn's side because he loves how purple jodie's face gets #when he doesnt know if glenn is actually an idiot or just fucking with him #also i havent listened to the full atmod only the free episode so who knows whats canon! #maybe meryl had another baby who was actually jodie's mom and thats why when the demon needed a body he could take jodie's #who knows! not me bc im too broke for patreon right now *cries in adult* #dndads #dndads s2 #dungeons and daddies #hermie the unworthy #glenn close #jodie foster

“the two weeks rule is about mm stuff”? what??? 🤡​ remove it if you want to, i don’t think anyone is threatened by that... “pay me for content with bugs, i’ll unlock it when i feel like it and remove it if you question me” is all i heard. with excuses and more excuses. how disappointing.

@lady-moriel for unfollowing/blocking purposes.

its been fun watching the hbomb subreddit try very very hard to stick to the "if anyone harasses james on my behalf they wont see the light of heaven" by imo overcorrecting to "any time anyone mentions somerton ever it's because you're obsessed with him and want to pick on him because he's the villain of the week" bc its like. yknow actually i dont think people keeping an eye on his various attempts to weasel back into the spotlight and keep doing his same old shit over the last /two months/ is the same as harassing him because it's hip and fun. i think maybe those are not the same thing

#and like obv yes its possible to do both but idk #im just kinda like. 'dont harass him' and 'ignore him completely even if hes continuing to do shitty things' are um #different. those are different #origibberish #i will say though that subreddit is very good for gauging if im getting weirdly parasocial at him #like i still have yet to do that at a celebrity i like afaik because i just. Dont Like Celebrities usually #so now that i have one (1) that autism brain has finally decided to look up to im like Uh Oh Is It Finally Time #and then i see posts on there sometimes and im like. ohhh ok no i get it now #and i mean i can see why they feel that way‚ its the hbomb subreddit and Thats The Most Recent Hbomb Video #and it had yknow. immediate and impressive results #so of course people are going to a) talk about it a lot and b) talk about the aftermath as it happens #and if youre in the 'only talking about this one guy' group and that one guy has only talked about one other guy in the last Year #like. yeah . youre mostly gonna be hearing about that guy #oh parasocial abt hbomb not abt somerton i just realized how the phrasing there was weird jwhfksbfk #that being said i literally made a post like two weeks ago abt how i didnt actually know his first name so like i think im probably good #my scope of knowledge about him extends Exclusively to whats In His Videos #or well and i guess to like. patreon posts too but i tend to just dismiss patreon notifs without reading them a lot KENFKSNFMDB #like yeah yeah this show i follow posted their podcast i dont follow early for patreon subs i dont care get out of my way

Okay I thought I was tripping but I counted and there's about 92 requests in the hoard so this is y'all's semi consistent reminder that I love you so much and I'm excited about literally all the requests and I will do my best to fulfill them at a reasonable balance of speed and quality <3

due to the number of them I will likely be choosing with preference towards the oldest, my personal favorites, and random selected ones!

Thank you for being so patient and understanding! 🫶✨

#i also try to make sure to sprinkle in andy and joe every now and then #even tho yall kno im obsessed with Patrick #and i try to sprinkle in personal requests here and there bc i know that those r very vulnerable and special #but yeaj i just wanted to put into context why i havent been able to respond to these as quickly as id like #i want to keep them lighthearted doodles for the most part but i dont want them to lack quality #like really wonky proportions or bodies without faces etc #and some really warrant a few sketches per request #should i set up a patreon? idk if theres enough of us that like a dollar a month could add up to something #but also an idea ive had is i could do a couple dollars for a vote and we could do a full painting once a month! #trying to keep this fun and accessible but still figure out how to do it without life stuff interrupting #never putting the art behind a paywall but also if i had more time to give to these ahh #imagine daily livestreams of full illustrations for requests!! the dream #okay ive typed enough #not art #general psa #request

you know, I'd say I'm surprised at the amount of tumblr users that are defending watcher's bullshit but no it tracks actually.

#like it just makes perfect sense #anyway the patreon updates made me laugh #of course the one that wasn't scheduled had comments turned off can't imagine why #but the radio silence about all this is Certainly Something

now that i've finally edited the photos of my buddy's d&d characters i just need y'all to see what i have to deal with when i try to get accurate pics of minis atm with my phone camera

these were all taken seconds apart in the same lighting. america explain

#the third one was the closest to real life so i could at least match all the other photos to that one once i had adjusted it a little #but oh my god. it is such a pain in the ass #especially if i just want to be able to snap quick WIP pics at my workstation for patreon stuff #not pictured: me cursing and refocusing the camera and frantically trying to snap the shots while my phone slides through colour balances #cameo from the sheet of white paper i brought in for backup to try and convince my phone that it was not blue in that room #if the cloth i use as a backdrop looks wildly different depending on the minis i have on it. this is why #i focus on getting the minis looking As Right As Possible and the cloth will sometimes just get fucked up in the background

[sysig]

Okay honestly I might have to take a break from posting with the lack of legacy editor, the new system is fucked in so many ways

#I literally can't with the window pop up just to add a caption to each picture??? What is this Patreon???? #It's so bad like I feel like I'm overreacting but this makes me so fucking itchy #I only had one new set prepped but like - the new editor is completely turning me off doing Anything with it #You can't drag and drop you can't just click and type the caption while looking at the picture which is like?? #You're literally blocking what I'm trying to make words about wtf why it was perfect before I literally can't see any improvement #Maybe the character limit but I never hit mine so idk #And then HTML editing turns /everything/ into HTML including the pictures???? Leave it alone! #I don't know what up but it is Super turning me off #Only positive is it gets me chomping at the bit to make my own site again :/ Not exactle a big plus #Hoping and praying those things are all glitches but they look so implemented ://// #Literally just give us the options Pls #The site's already broken let me break it how I want #Oh fucking good! The '''''''caption'''''''' is actually just alt text so that's just gone??? Yeah fuck that #/And/ autotags don't work #Yeah I actually can't post anymore if those things aren't features :) #Anybody remember the five+ weeks of counting up until they fixed their shit a few years ago? #Yeah. Might be sequel time fellas

Things are starting to get serious in my Zelda comic. What’s the hardest part about it?

Is it...

A) Conveying the gravity of the situation?

B) Showing emotions like distress without overdoing it?

C) Maintaining a steady pace while allowing for scenes to breathe?

D) Not making dumb jokes in the artist’s comments about how horrible the situation is?

It’s D. It’s totally D.

#I did a 'he's dead Jim' joke in the Patreon tags for the most recent page and had to make myself go back and remove it #why am i like this #just as I'm typing this soooooo many more awful jokes are coming to mind #maybe I'll use them in the youtube readthrough when I finally get to chapter 21

Hey everyone, if I opened a Patreon, what would you like to see from me?

I’ve already thought of it as the place to post WIPS of both personal and commission work. But what else would any of you be willing to pay to see?

Would you be interested in Procreate Files? It’s been several years since we last had a Patreon running, so I’d like to know what interests you! Feel free to send me asks or replies to this post!

#At a certain tier you will have a small commission discount that is for sure. Always had that one ever since we started a long time ago. #You’d also be part of our Patron List on Youtube whenever we upload. =) #We have a few Video WIPS we haven’t posted to tumblr yet.. But it IS posted to Twitter so you can at least guess what that one is. #It would be interesting to have a Patreon again so that aside from relying only on commission work… #We would then be able to draw Fandom/Personal Art without worrying about time wasted. #It is why we haven’t been drawing fandom-related work recently #We do not have the financial stability to subscribe to others- so I am wondering if people would be interested in subscribing to us! #You can cal this an interest check as well. #Mod Stuff #From Chara
